It says that ordinary people have the capacity to achieve self-government. It assrets that in spite of all blunders arid mistakes people make when they do attempt to govern them selves, over long periods of time the most significant developments and the greatest achievements can be made when the people do ac tually become conscious of and fully accept the responsibilities of self-government. “These and like basic ideas in volved in the democratic approach to life would appeal to people any where. “Second—We must try to estab lish some practical, workable framework around which orderly and decent life in the world can be organized,” he said.

JERRY RENNET, ED HOLDER. .Co-EdxtoTs Dr. Sadler pointed out that “in a world such as ours, we are talk ing and acting like children when we assume that we assume that we can have permanent order and decency for ourselves or for our world unless and until we can de velop some practical and workable organization. “Many had hoped that the Uni ted Nations might provide this needed framework. “Third,” he said, “we must keep strong the essential foundation out of which democracy grows. The leaders in our country from the very beginning, have recognized the inseparable relationship be tween religion and democracy. “Every basic idea involved in the democratic approach to life is founded in pure religion.

Too Wild Dog Dislikes Campus Life By Art McMutt This is probably the first article by me you’ve ever read. But that's logical, because there ain’t too many of us dogs that can type, ‘specially us of the all-American breed. In fact, I’m the first dog I knowed of that has ever writ any thing. But scratch my ticks if I can set around and watch what’s happening’ around here and not bark a little ’bout it. I’ve been around this here cam pus a good while now. I knowed the ol’ Rev a long time before she died, and I don’t mind if I boast a little here and say that I knows just about ever dog around here by his howl. Best For Meeting I dare say I’m the best on the campus as far meetin’ critters goes. The new Rev is pretty good ‘bout wipping-out, but she hain’t got my strong grip. Wall, gettin’ back on the sub ject I started on every y’ar ’bout this time things got as upset as I was when the dog-catcher got after me back in ’46. With school-l’arn- in’ classes gettin’ turned out and everything, all you humans are gettin’ as wild as a bunch of tom cats havin’ a singing party on the back fence. I was a wanderin’ through the corps area this afternoon inspectin’ fire plugs when some youngster exploded a fire cracker under me that sounds louder than the can nons did when they were shot off in front of Ross Hall. It scared me so bad I hain’t been able to wag my tail since then. If another deg had done that, I’d a bit him. I had more since ! than that before I graduated from the dog pound. To do such a thing would seem as bad to me as my tieing a tin can to one of my best buddies’ tail. Slap my muzzle if I don’t believe you humans think completely different than us dogs. Wall, after my hairs laid back down like there supposed to and my wits settled, I decided to go to somebody’s room in one of the dormitories and see if they wouldn’t let me sleep in their roommate’s bed. I started to follow a bunch of you all in the door when all of a sudden somebody on the second (See WATER, Page 4) LETTERS TO THE EDITOR y Was As bury Slur Worst Example Editors, The Battalion: We do not know who was re sponsible for the recent front page story in The Battalion, so we will leave it to your discretion where in the fault lies. (In reference to Dr. Asbury’s recent mishap.) That specific story was one of the worst examples of news report ing that we have ever had the misfortune to read. It is inconceivable to think that all your staff are endowed with such petty, narrow minds, as to allow such trivia to be planted. Librarians Elect Officers For Next Year Members of the Texas Chapter of the Special Libraries Associa tion, meeting here, heard a brief history of experiment station pub lications work and elected officers for the coming year.
